You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 211

Joanne lost her appetite due to her busy thoughts. She only finished half of her meal before resting on the sofa in the living room to brainstorming.

While she was deep in thought, Nathan's phone rang in the living room. Joanne glanced at it and saw the name 'Jodie' on the screen. Just as she was about to ask Nathan who 'Jodie' was, he stood up to pick up the call.

Joanne's curiosity sparked. She pricked her ears and listened carefully. She heard Nathan speaking gently and whispered the name 'Jodie' softly. After the other side said something, Nathan replied with an 'Oh no!' and he added, "Look at my poor memory. Please keep it for me. I'll collect it before I return to Haverland. Thank you."

Joanne asked deliberately, "Nathan, who called you? Why did I hear a woman's voice? Are you having an affair with another lady behind Irene's back?"

Nathan rushed to explain, "What nonsense are you spluttering? I went to the villa on the outskirts to do some gardening for the roses, and I had misplaced my watch. The gardenerin-charge found my watch and gave me a call to tell me." "Don't lie to me, Nathan." Joanne laughed, "I just saw the name of the person on your phone screen. Why did you save a servant's phone number as well?"

"Jodie isn't a servant of our family. However, now she's helping to take care of the villa's garden, so I referred to her as the gardener."

Britney stopped in her meal and put down her cutleries. She walked over and asked, "Who's Jodie?" Her interest was piqued by Nathan's explanation.

Nathan had no choice but to tell her everything that had happened to Rowane.

Britney smiled with relief and said, "My grandson is so kind to lend a helping hand to a stranger. Speaking of which, this girl is really pitiful. You should help find out her identity as soon as possible so that it will be helpful for her to restore her memory."

Nathan chuckled, "Grandmother, that's indeed my plan."

Britney had been hostile towards Joanne recently. She was trying her best to impress Britney. Upon hearing what Britney said, she hurriedly added, "Nathan, send Jodie's photo to me. I'll ask my friends to inquire around and see if anyone knows her."

Britney glanced at Joanne approvingly, "Not bad. Joanne has plenty of followers. You should get her to help spread the news."

Nathan's face darkened, "No, I can't upload Jodie's photo online. Otherwise, I would've done it a long time ago."

"Why not? The Internet is the fastest and most convenient way to find people," Joanne asked curiously.

Nathan answered, "You've forgotten what I said just now. When I found Jodie, there were scars on her body. Plus, judging from the scene that time, someone seemed to be after her life. If I posted her photos on the Internet, wouldn't it be terrible if her enemy discovered her? I can only ask someone to investigate it secretly, not via the public."

Joanne nodded, "You're right. We really can't do that. How about this? My good friend, Linda's husband, is a private detective. Send me Jodie's photo, and I'll get him to help investigate quietly."

"Yes, this is a good idea. I thank you on Jodie's behalf," Nathan said as he took his phone out and sent Rowane's photo to Joanne.

Joanne glanced at her phone and couldn't help exclaiming in shock, "Nathan, why does Jodie look so similar to Irene?"

Nathan laughed, "Yes, I agree that they both do slightly look alike. If I didn't know that Irene doesn't have a sister, I would have thought that Jodie was her sister."

"Really? Let me see," Britney went forward to take Joanne's phone to take a careful look at the photo. She was astonished and said, "She looks similar to Irene indeed. She seems younger and prettier than her. She must have a gentle personality."

Nathan chortled, "You're amazing, Grandma. You can tell someone's personality just by looking at their photo. Jodie is indeed a docile and diligent girl. Hodge and the others fancy her a lot."

Joanne suddenly had an idea when she noticed Nathan's face to be full of approval as he mentioned Jodie. She suggested, "Nathan, why not invite her over to our house for a meal? It's rather pitiful that she has to suffer like this in a foreign place. Plus, Grandma likes crowds. So, having a guest over for a meal would be nice too."

Britney agreed and added, "She has a point. Our house is big, but we don't have many people staying here. It would be livelier if friends came over, so why not you bring Jodie home for us to get to know each other?"

"Okay, I'll send someone to fetch her here for you guys to get to know each other," Nathan thought about it and agreed with the idea. Rowane was a gentle and obedient girl, so Britney would love her a lot. If she could come over to accompany Britney often, then Britney would be joyful. After all, he would be returning to the country soon and would not be back for some time. Britney was rather annoyed with Joanne's presence right now, and she could not accompany her as often as last time anymore. If Rowane could replace Joanne in attending to Britney, then he could leave with a peace of mind.

After making up his mind, Nathan decided to go to the villa in person tomorrow and discuss the matter with Rowane. If she was willing to, he would ask her to move into the White Mansion. However, he never thought that his decision would change his relationship with Irene and his life.
